Heros of the
West
Classic western movies portrayed
the Texas cowboy as the hero of the old west. Cowboys modeled
honorable character traits like courage, endurance, teamwork
and loyalty. These qualities are admired in the business world
today. A western theme can also convey the message that your
company shoots straight and still does business with a handshake.
You can model these heroic qualities and old fashioned priciples
by displaying western art photography in your office. These images
are also available as stock photos which can be used for brochures,
ads, websites and presentations.

Boots
and Spurs
A cowboy with his boot in a
hand-tooled leather stirrup. Shotgun chaps are so named because
the legs are straight and narrow like a shotgun's barrel. Shotguns
wrap completely around the leg do not flap around like batwings.
|
|
|
Fancy Riding Chaps
Batwing chaps are cut with
a flare at the bottom. They have only two or three fasteners
around the thigh, allowing freedom of movement for the lower
leg. This is helpful for active riding.
